MOVING FORWARD – CONTAINER ON BARGE
Expand commerce and trade through containerized cargo growth through intermodal rail and container on barge
Demonstrate COB service is feasible between inland cities in the Midwest and the Port of New Orleans via the Mississippi River system
Promoting an alternative in the event of supply-chain disruption
St. Louis Region has three ports with COB capacity
Coordinate with intermodal logistic companies
o Barge, 3 party logistic providers and rail and truck modes all need to be working together
o Working with freight forwarders Unigroup, Ingram, SCF Marine, trucking companies and our shortline railroads -TRRA and Class I railroads.
The St. Louis Region received two 2016 MARAD Grants to help jump start container on barge
18
CONTAINER ON BARGE IS A HOT TOPIC
Container on Barge is a hot topic at the Oct. 18, 2016
St. Louis meeting of the U.S. Maritime Transportation System National Advisory
Committee (MTSNAC) and spotlighted the St. Louis Regional Freightway’s
public – private partnerships to advance COB operations along the inland
waterways
- published by The Waterways Journal Weekly on Oct 2016

2017 REGIONAL MANUFACTURING/LOGISTICS
SITE SELECTORS FAMILIARIZATION TOUR
Promote the St. Louis Region as a premier logistics and manufacturing hub with superior infrastructure and integrated supply chain advantages.
Theme/Takeaways: Create a business advantage seen in few peer region.
Very few communities enjoy the depth of competitive advantages we do across multiple modes of transportation and with central access to markets
The St. Louis Region offers distinct advantages for an integrated supply chain. o Infrastructure
o Access to all modes of transportation
o Workforce
The region and its economic development and business groups are working collaboratively to further plan for the future and enhance the area for business.
